Wow, that's pretty slick of you! It could never hurt to have some extra alt output, especially considering the stereo that the PO put in my car. At first I thought $3500 was a bit high for a 300SE with failing paint, but when I saw that he dropped well over a grand on an MB quart system with a Clarion head unit and a complete Siruis setup I capitulated.
I'd love to see a pic of how you did that, if it's not any trouble.
So, you're saying that if I just delete the air pump and order a belt for a pre '90 300SE, it will fit? If so, then cool!! I'm not sure I have the energy to deal with bracket swaps just yet, perhaps I'll save that until it's time to deal with the fan clutch or water pump or belt tensioner.....
Thanks for the info!
